“You should have left them when they booted their founder.”
You are write, and like you that action did upset me and I considered leaving Firefox and Thunderbird at that time. I have plenty of excuses I considered reasons for not doing it before now. All of them were just laziness and resistance to change from what I was comfortable with, and frankly what I was happy with in terms of the operations.
My bad, I agree.
Not entirely.
I switched my work computer to Brave back then...
Eventually my IT guy got pissed at me.
He revoked my install privileges, and deleted Brave.
He is now long gone, but the punishment remains.
